Unity? I don't think they want to upstream it, let alone upstream wanting to take it... and that's not such a bad thing. All kinds of downstream users of GNOME have made totally different environments with the platform. But what about stuff they want to upstream? I just hope they learn from this experience and do it better in future, like others have learned before them -- like Red Hat and Novell in GNOME, lots of Linux kernel contributors... That's the technical side of things. The social side of it all is much harder for them.
